Global variables for an external application

    Hi,

    is there something new in the way WP deals with globals and what-not in 1.5?

    I have an app installed locally (in my server) which relies on variables set in one file to be read in another; pretty common, right?.

    So, I use a global declaration.

    It works in every other page that WP isn’t hooked up to.

    Any suggestions?

    Where do you put that global var? Try putting it in index.php of your theme.

    I’m not sure what you mean, maybe it’s me. I’m just starting out with PHP programming.

    I have a function to write some info out to the HTML page. The function is kept in a seperate file and the variable in question is kept in a third file; both are included into the wordpress file.

    In the function I declare that my variable needs to be global but it’s doesn’t work: it doesn’t write out to the browser.

    As for index.php: it’s related to header information, so it’s in header.php.

    yeah, nevermind. the include files ad to be called in index.php of wp, not the theme.

    sorry for the waste of time.
